Comfortable Stay - Great Location
Cute property in a fantastic location right near S Congress. Great communication and easy to check in and out. Home is showing wear and tear not visible in the photos (in need of some fresh paint, cracks in walls, both toilets are missing lids, need outlets near the bed stands to charge phones and other items). There were some dead bugs/daddy long legs at the wall near the kitchen table. Other than that the home was clean and comfortable for our family of 5. One suggestion - softer pillows! The pillows were huge and didn't compress much, my neck got pretty kinked after a few nights.

Fantastic
Loved this property. We have been renting homes in Austin for over a decade and this one was a real hit. Our boys loved the pool and hot tub, the kitchen was large and easy to cook in (although they are short on spoons?!?) and games came in handy as well. Nice bathrooms. GREAT location. Highly recommend.

Austin Adorable
This house is adorable, comfortable and clean. The house has a cool vibe and is decorated accordingly. My family really enjoyed staying here. The baths were beautiful as was the kitchen. Our only complaint was the pool water was really cold despite the outside temperature and the hot tub was very very hot. The backyard is private and cozy. All in all an awesome property.

Beautiful home & perfect location
We could not have selected a better place to stay in Austin! We were there to celebrate an upcoming wedding with friends and family and this place made an already special trip that much better. The pool and backyard were incredible. Pool floaties and designated pool towels were a huge plus. The house is beautifly decorated and the beds were all super comfortable. Lastly the location couldn't have been better. Any place that wasn't walking distance (tons of great bars/restaurants/coffee/shops were walkable) was a 10 minute Uber. Congress Street which is located just a 5 minute walk from the home is definitely something to see in Austin and is somewhere I'd visit again. Thank you for an amazing stay.

We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Open floor plan with lots of room and storage. Fully fenced in yard with a great pool and hot tub. Feels like you’re in a tropical place when lounging outside. Has everything you need as it relates to a baby or toddler. A+++

Oasis on an active trip
The property is located in a central spot to access all the enjoyment Austin offers - easy access to highways, walk to the river, S. congress food and drink. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.
The character of the property and quality of amenities for a family were beyond expectations. Ease off access, off street parking, fencing for privacy, massive kitchen, open feeling house with privacy - and the cool dip pool were perfect for our family.

We absolutely loved the house! We liked it so much we are hoping it will be available for our next trip to Austin! The location is perfect!!! Walkable to resturaunts, coffee, shopping.
2 small suggestions
1) need a stool in showers and somewhere to put toiletries in the showers
2) lamps on the nightstands in the bedroom closest to the front door.

Beautiful Home but Beware of Broken Features
This is a beautiful home in a great location. You can easily walk to all of the shopping and restaurants on South Congress. It’s even on a home remodel show on Netflix, which was really cool.
I would have given more stars, except we were really disappointed with a few things. The hot tub was broken, and when we inquired we were told they would look into it. This was over the weekend and we didn’t hear back about it at all. This meant there was no hot tub use our entire trip. The ice maker was also broken and we received the same response. Thankfully, there were ice cube trays, however that made us think that they already knew it was broken and didn’t say anything. One part of the shower in the master bathroom was also broken, and the lights in the pool at night didn’t work. We stopped asking for help when things were broken because the management company wasn’t helpful or responsive to our requests. For the amount of money that this house costs per night, everything should be working and in good, if not perfect condition. I’ve stayed in rental homes for half this price and gotten immediate attention from the property management, despite the day of the week.
I would love to stay at this home again because of its location and high end features. I just wish the features actually worked. I warn others to inquire about them before booking.
